nutech®-plus

Constructed principally from high tenacity Polypropylene with outer yarns alternating with Polyester for increased abrasion resistance. Nutech Plus is an 8 strand plaited rope with a melting point of 165ºC. A variety of colours are available on request.

Also available in 12 x 2 construction upon request.

megaflex 8 strand

Plaited ropes are well established in marine and off-shore applications, because of their ease in handling and non-rotating behaviour.

Megaflex is a composite fibre with polyester as a strength member, with excellent fatigue characteristics and abrasion resistance. The fatigue life is comparable to pure polyester, but the weight for a given strength is comparable to that of nylon.

The rope has a very high breaking strength and is not influenced by water, thus dry strength is equal to wet strength and it is an ideal rope for mooring tails.

Material:
High tenacity polypropylene and polyester composite fibres.

• Optimum strength:weight ratio for ease of handling
• Wet strength equal to dry strength
• Good abrasion resistance against internal and external friction.
• Manufactured in accordance with OCIMF guidelines.
• Good resistance to frictional heat damage.
• Good shock load absorption, yielding low snapback at break.
• Specific gravity 1.14.
• Remains flexible and easy to splice in use.
• Does not absorb water.
• Fully UV stabilised.
• Excellent chemical resistance except in the presence of alkalis.
